Vertigo
Vertigo is an addictive arcade game powered by
Ogre3D and BulletPhysics Engine. The game is free, released under an
open source and is cross platform.
The Xenophis, a Vulcan exploratory vessel, has incidentally
found the mythical sector of Firia where the planets, only reachable
through warp tunnels, are told to be made of staggering ice and liquid
fire. As a precautionary act, the Xenophis crew are attempting to
launch interstellar probes, significantly altered to exist within the
Firia atmosphere, in order to learn more of this magnificent piece of
the galaxy.
However, evidence shows that the former inhabitants do not
like outsiders.
You are a probe and your mission is to maneuver your way to
the other end of the warp tunnel. Your probe is set with 2 shields to
protect from fire and ice drones, but only 1 shield is active at a
time. You have to flip shields in time to protect yourself, and you can
possibly move left and right to avoid some obstacles.
Vertigo is a pure reflex game, so be quick. Coupled with
a quality music score,
you will quickly get lost into and want more of it. There is nothing
too serious about this game. Just pure fun for quick time pass.

Features include:
- Six different zones
- Two types of drones to encounter:
- Chasing drones: you can not escape these and must switch
shield in time to collide
- Duette drones: a pair of drones, one of fire and one of
ice. You must move and collide with one of them, while regarding, of
course, your shield
- 4 game modes:
- Arcade: this is the "normal" mode; your objective is to
reach the last portal with your shields intact
- Survival: virtually, you can't beat this mode, every time
you enter a portal, the game will get harder and you can see how long
you will last!
- Dodgy: only one of your shields is active and flipping is
not possible, you will be faced with Duette drones and you must dodge
to stay alive and reach the last portal
- Nervebreak: the rules of the game change; the drones have
adapted to your shields and you must collide with every drone using the
opposite shield. In other words, face fire drones with your ice shield,
and ice drones with your fire shield
